Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets-Chapter 13: Surname Wang

In my previous life, in the dormitory, Zhang Minmin and several others looked down on everyone. They were already difficult to get along with, and Tian Tian and the others also excluded her subtly. Before, she couldn't understand why, but now, she finally understood.

It turned out that Xu Zhenzhen was truly instrumental behind all this.

When Tang Yue entered the dormitory and Xu Zhenzhen saw her, she immediately stopped talking and said, "Tang Yue, so you went to buy a bucket and a washbasin. Right, Tian Tian and I are going to stroll around the school later, do you want to come with us?"

Xu Zhenzhen looked at her with a beaming smile. If Tang Yue hadn't heard the previous complaints, she might not have known that Xu Zhenzhen was two-faced, with her ability to act so differently in front of others compared to behind them.

"No thanks, I'm going to find my uncle later," Tang Yue declined, with a smile on her face, she said, "Zhenzhen, the reason I didn't want to change beds is because I think the light is really good on the top bunk."

After explaining, Tang Yue didn't pay attention to Xu Zhenzhen and Tian Tian's surprise. After putting down the bucket and washbasin, she left.

Xu Zhenzhen said somewhat awkwardly, "Tian Tian, maybe I misunderstood."

"It's okay, I think Tang Yue is quite easy to get along with," Tian Tian replied, her face full of envy, "Look how pretty Tang Yue is, her eyes are like they can speak."

Xu Zhenzhen's lips twitched, she nonchalantly said, "Really?"

She and Tang Yue had grown up together and everyone always said she was more beautiful than Tang Yue. This was the first time someone had said Tang Yue was prettier than her in front of her.

Are her eyes pretty?

Xu Zhenzhen seriously tried to recall but realized that she actually couldn't remember.

The smile on Xu Zhenzhen's face faded, and Tian Tian, unaware, eagerly dragged Xu Zhenzhen to start touring the new school. The several teaching buildings, when compared to the town's school, were worlds apart.

Tang Yue followed her memory to Fusheng Restaurant on the street next to the school. The school had always been in her memory, and now the thing she most wanted to do was to find Tang Mingli.

If her memory served right, Tang Mingli died during the National Day holiday, which was less than a month away.

In 1986, the town's streets, compared to the prosperity of later years, seemed quite backward. Many of the large shopping malls and real estate that she remembered should have been there, had not yet been developed.

Tang Yue finally found Fusheng Restaurant after a long search. Just as she entered the restaurant, she bumped into a man.

"Hello uncle, I'm looking for Tang Mingli, is he here?" Tang Yue surveyed Fusheng Restaurant, which was two stories high, a bit old but it looked like the business was still good. It was just after lunchtime, and in the hall, many people were clearing up the dishes.

"Little girl, what do you want with Tang Mingli?" The man was a waiter at Fusheng Restaurant, and he often hung out with Tang Mingli.

"He is my uncle," Tang Yue explained with a smile.

The waiter looked her over before saying, "That's unfortunate, he just went out. Is there something you need him for?"

"It's like this, I'm a student at first middle school, I just started today, my uncle told me to find him," Tang Yue explained, and then asked, "Uncle, do you know where my uncle went? Or who he might have gone out with?"

"It seems to be someone surnamed Wang, they've been together everyday recently," the waiter said uncertainly.

Tang Yue's expression changed. If her memory was correct, it was this person surnamed Wang who had tricked her uncle out of the money he had saved up for his marriage. Not only that, but her uncle had also borrowed a lot of money from people in the village, saying that he would return it with interest after making money.

Her uncle, who had hoped to make a big profit, ended up losing everything. When her uncle went to the person to discuss the matter, the person reneged on his word.

Naturally, her uncle refused to let it go and ended up fighting with the person.

All these details, she had heard from Zhang Hualian's mouth, and for this reason, Tang Yue remembered this incident particularly well.

Even after more than thirty years, she remembered it clearly.

"What's wrong?" The waiter looked at Tang Yue, not understanding what was going on with her. He asked, "Do you have some urgent matter?"

"It's nothing." Tang Yue left absentmindedly, not finding Tang Mingli made her feel anxious. Usually, she could only stay in school, and had time only on Saturdays and Sundays.

If she couldn't find him this week, what about next week?

Tang Yue aimlessly searched the streets, her mind full of the circumstances of Tang Mingli's death.

Tang Mingli, uncle, where on earth did you go?

Tang Yue searched round after round, as if she wanted to see a glimmer of hope in the matter of Tang Mingli.

In her second year of high school, Tang Zhengde would have an accident working at the logging site. If she couldn't change the matter concerning Tang Mingli, then Tang Zhengde...

Tang Yue grew more and more anxious the more she thought about it, not realizing that it was getting darker outside.

"Tang Mingli!"

Tang Yue returned to Fusheng Restaurant, and when she saw Tang Mingli, it was like seeing hope itself, her smile blooming beautifully and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled.

"Tang Yue?" Tang Mingli looked incredulously at Tang Yue and asked, "Isn't today the first day of school? Why are you here?"

"Uncle," Tang Yue said joyously as she approached him. Seeing that he was safe and sound gave her a sigh of relief. She asked, "Uncle, where did you go this afternoon? I've been looking for you for a long time."

"You're out of money just after school starts?" Tang Mingli looked at her oddly.

Tang Yue's expression darkened, realizing that Tang Mingli had misunderstood why she had come.

"My mom gave me money, enough for two weeks; I'm not broke," Tang Yue replied and added, "Besides, it's only the first day of school; how could I be out of money?"

"Oh." Tang Mingli pulled out one yuan from his pocket and held it out, saying, "Take this to buy some snacks."

"Uncle." Tang Yue looked at the one yuan, her eyes instantly filled with tears. She remembered that since she was little, Tang Mingli never forgot her share whenever he had something to eat.

"Touched?" Tang Mingli said with a grin, "Don't worry, once your uncle makes big money, I'll buy you snacks everyday."

"..."

Tang Yue then remembered what she was there for, pressing him, "Uncle, who did you go out with? What's this big money-making thing?"

"None of your business, kiddo, just wait. When your uncle makes money, I'll definitely give you some," Tang Mingli didn't intend to tell Tang Yue.

But Tang Yue was persistent; she pouted and said, "Uncle, I'm in high school now, and our school library has so many books, with all sorts of knowledge. Uncle, just tell me what you're planning to do to make big money. Maybe there's information about it in the library."

Tang Yue bluffed.

Half-believing, Tang Mingli asked, "The books teach you how to make money?"

"Of course," Tang Yue confirmed with a nod, "The books contain beauty and treasures, if one is willing to learn, they can surely be discovered."
